    Wanderer's Minuet only has a problem if Bard DPS isn't noticeably increased. If it is, then your mobility is the price to pay for increased DPS.

    We all know that what Bards really wanted was to have equivalent DPS as the other classes while keeping their mobility (and higher survivability) intact. Anyone that cares about class balance knew that could never happen.
    Just to throw this out. Bard isn't doing more dps relatively as they were in 2.0 with WM. you also can't really compare defiance/deliverance since they do not fundamentally change how a warrior plays. Defiance improves upon what their primary role is (tanking and emnity generation) while deliverance improves on their damage when not otherwise tanking, all working off their inherent toolkit; Imagine if Deliverance was slapped on but had absolutely no interaction with your 2.0 skills (meaning no stacks from weaponskills), and the only way could get abandon was getting infuriate and then changing to deliverance. WM does not interact well with bard's 2.0 toolkit, specifically the detection delay on their procs (which was done without cast times in mind) and oGCD resets, leading to doubling GCDs with an effective 1 second downtime per weaponskill or delaying weapon skills.

    And it's far from mobility being the offender to why some of us hate WM, but the people who knock it either don't seem to get the reasoning or even play bard long enough to acknowledge it.
